From the authour's web-site: Nullmailer is a mail transport agent designed to only relay all its messages through a fixed set of "upstream" hosts. It is also designed to be secure.
Install Nullmailer
# emerge nullmailer -va
This may pull in supervise-scripts, which will then require:
hostname ~ # rc-update add svscan default
and
hostname ~ # /etc/init.d/svscan start
Configuration
Edit the following files to configure the machine to send mail to our mailing server (Bismarck).
/etc/nullmailer/adminaddr
admin@siat.sfu.ca
/etc/nullmailer/defaultdomain
iat.sfu.ca
/etc/nullmailer/me
$hostname.iat.sfu.ca
/etc/nullmailer/remotes
bismarck.iat.sfu.ca smtp
Status
hostname ~ # mailq
Testing
(note: you may have to emerge mailx to get the mail command)
Send a message to root, then wait a while for it to be picked up and sent onwards.
hostname ~ # mail -s "this is a nullmailer test from tirpitz" root Type your message, complete it with a ctrl-D + Enter
